Meet the breeder
I'm Lisa E., the breeder behind Estes Kennels located in Bakersfield, CA. Our pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. Our focus is on breeding healthy and happy puppies that can bring just as much joy to their families as our dogs do for us. We are very hands-on with our puppies and give them plenty of unconditional love and attention!
